    Duncannon Dam

    The back of this post card suggests there was camping at this dam. It looks like there is a second body of water, either the Juniata River or the creek just south of Ducannon.

    Re: Duncannon Dam

    This is the area locally known as "the point".The vantage point of the camera is looking down the Juniata river towards the Susquehanna.The dam is for the Clark's Ferry.It looks like (the photo) predates the toll bridge that replaced it.The toll bridge was replaced by a 4 lane highway bridge.
    This is an interesting post card and would love to know the date it was printed.Several of the trees are still there and alive today although they are of course much larger.The building in the photo is long gone.
    I also own most of this property.The site of the building looks to be on my part of the property.it could be triangulated using the trees and abutment for referance.There were more than just that one structure on the site as well.This was also a likely camping spot for indians and settlers . It is the very tip of what was once called Duncan island.
